The given reaction is:
3Fe + 4H2O → Fe3O4 + 4H2
Given:
Mass of Fe = 354 g
Mass of H2O = 839 g
Calculation:
Step 1 : Find the limiting reagent
Molar mass of Fe = 56 g/mol
Molar mass of H2O = 18 g/mol
# moles of Fe = mass of Fe/molar mass Fe = 354/56 = 6.321 moles
# moles of H2O = mass of h2O/molar mass of H2O = 839/18 = 46.611 moles
Since moles of Fe is less than H2O; Fe is the limiting reagent.
Step 2: Calculate moles of Fe3O4 formed
As per reaction stoichiometry:
3 moles of Fe form 1 mole of Fe3O4
Therefore, 6.321 moles of Fe = 6.321 * 1/ 3 = 2.107 moles of Fe3O4
Step 4: calculate the mass of Fe3O4 formed
Molar mass of Fe3O4 = 232 g/mol
# moles = 2.107 moles
Mass of Fe3O4 = moles * molar mass
= 2.107 moles * 232 g/mol = 488.8 g (489 g approx)

Answer:
Opaque → a.no light travels through the material; all light is reflected or absorbed
Translucent → b.some light travels through the material and the image cannot be seen clearly
Transparent → c.all light travels through the material and the image can be seen clearly

Hope this helps :)
The question requires us to explain the differences in radii of neutral atoms, cations and anions.
To answer this question, we need to keep in mind that a neutral atom presents the same number of protons (positive particles) and electrons (negative particles). Another important information is that the protons are located in the nucleus of the atom, while the electrons are around the nucleus. Also, there is an electrostatic force between protons and electrons, which means that they the protons tend to attract the electrons to the nucleus.
While a neutral atom presents the same number of protons and electrons, a cation is an ion with positive charge, which means it has lost one or more electrons. In a cation, the balance between protons and electrons doesn't exist anymore: now, there is more positive than negative charge (more protons than electrons), and the overall attractive force that the protons have for the electrons is increased. As a result, the electrons stay closer to the nucleus and the radius of a cation is smaller than the neutral atom from which it was derived.
On the other side, anions present negative charge, which means they have received electrons. Similarly to cations, the balance between protons and electrons doesn't exist anymore, but in this case, there are more electrons than protons. In an anion, the overall attractive force that the protons have for the electrons is decreased. As a result, the electrons are "more free" to move and, as they are not so attracted to the nucleus, they tend to stay farther from the positive nucleus compared to the neutral atom - because of this, the radius of an anion is larger than the neutral atom from which it was derived.
